Dutch GP, Acosta: “It was a strange accident”
An unusual weekend for Acosta who has accustomed us to always being competitive and in the top positions. Already from the free practice sessions on Friday we had glimpsed the difficulty from the Spanish side that failed to stay in the top 10. The move from Q1 to Q2 was a nice improvement, but a fall at the end of the first qualifying round took away from Acosta some confidence to better face Q2. The result was the 9th place on the starting gridSaturday’s Sprint Race was a bit of a letdown and saw the Spanish rider finish in 10th place.a square, outside the points.
During the long race on Sunday, however, the Tech3 team seemed to to have found something to be able to go fast, as demonstrated by the fight for the 3rd step of the podium of which Acosta was part for most of the race. Unfortunately, however, the GASGAS rookie suffered a crash just during the last lap of the race, while he was permanently in 7a position. A fall that the pilot himself struggles to explain but which does not erase the steps forward facts from Friday to Sunday. Here are the words of Pedro Acosta after the race of the Assen GP, as reported by -.it:
“We have to take the positives, because even after a difficult weekend for us we managed to be competitive in gara. AND difficult to understand the accident, because in the last laps I had lightened the situation to conclude in a positive way. Maybe the tyres were cooled down too muchwas a strange accidentIt’s sad to end the weekend on this note, but let’s keep working, we are improving and we get closer and closer every weekend.”
